III. CredoPadre todopoderoso,
creador de cielo y tierra.
Creo en Dios y en Jesucristo creo,
Su único hijo, nuestro señor, fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato.
Fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado.
Descendió a los infiernos. Al tercer día
resucitó de entre los muertos.Subió a los cielos,
esta sentado a la diestra de Dios.Desde allí ha de venir
a juzgar vivos y muertos.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Santa Iglesia Católica,
la comunión de los santos, y el perdón de los pecados,
resurrección de la carne, y la vida perdurable.
Amén.

en el nombre del Señor.

Cordero de dios que quitas los pecados del mundo, danos la paz.
Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in God and I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only son, our Lord; who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, was born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate.
He was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.On the third day
He rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right of God the Father.He shall come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints and the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Amen.
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of the universe.
Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Fern Hill Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)
Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green, The night above the dingle starry, Time let me hail and climb Golden in the heydays of his eyes, And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves Trail with daisies and barley Down the river of the windfall light.
And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home, In the sun that is young once only, Time let me play and be Golden in the mercy of his means, And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold, And the sabbath rang slowly In the pebbles of the holy streams.
All the sun long it was running, it was lovely, the hay Fields high as the house, the tunes from the chimneys, it was air And playing, lovely and watery And fire green as grass. And nightly under the simple stars As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away, All the moon long I heard, blessed among stables, the nightjars Flying with the ricks, and the horses Flashing into the dark.
And then to awake, and the farm, like a wanderer white With the dew, come back, the cock on his shoulder: it was all Shining, it was Adam and maiden, The sky gathered again And the sun grew round that very day. So it must have been after the birth of the simple light In the first, spinning place, the spellbound horses walking warm Out of the whinnying green stable On to the fields of praise.
And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long, In the sun born over and over, I ran my heedless ways, My wishes raced through the house high hay And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs Before the children green and golden Follow him out of grace.
-
Nothing I cared, in the lamb white days, that time would take me Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand, In the moon that is always rising, Nor that riding to sleep I should hear him fly with the high fields And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land. Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

IV. VenI, SanCte SpIrItuSVeni, Sancte Spiritus,
et emitte coelitus lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum, veni, dator munerum, veni, lumen cordium.
Come, Holy Spirit, send forth from heaven the ray of thy light.
Come, Father of the poor, come, giver of gifts, come, light of hearts.
Lux Aeterna
II. In te, domIne, SperaVITu ad liberandum
suscepturus hominem non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu devicto mortis aculeo, aperuisti credentibus regna coelorum.
Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis.
Miserere nostri, Domine, miserere nostri.
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos quemadmodum speravimus in te.
In te Domine, speravi: non confundar in aeternum.
To deliver us, you became human, and did not disdain the Virgin’s womb.
Having blunted the sting of death, You opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
A light has risen in the darkness for the upright.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Let thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we have trusted in thee.
In thee, O Lord, I have trusted: let me never be confounded.
III. o nata luxO nata lux de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi, dignare clemens supplicum laudes preces que sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis, nos membra confer effici, tui beati corporis.
O born light of light, Jesus, redeemer of the world, mercifully deem worthy and accept the praises and prayers of your supplicants.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost ones, grant us to be made members of your holy body.
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn befits thee, O God in Zion, and to thee a vow shall be fulfilled in Jerusalem:
Hear my prayer, for unto thee all flesh shall come.
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
I. IntroItuSRequiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.Te decet hymnus Deus in Zion,
et tibi redetur votum in Jerusalem:
Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Consolator optime, dulcis hospes animae, dulce refrigerium.
In labore requies, in aestu temperies, in fletu solatium.
O lux beatissima, reple cordis intima tuorum fidelium.
Sine tuo numine, nihil est in homine, nihil est innoxium.
Lava quod est sordidum, riga quod est aridum, sana quod est saucium.
Flecte quod est rigidum, fove quod est frigidum, rege quod est devium.
Da tuis fidelibus, in te confidentibus, sacrum septenarium.
Da virtutis meritum, da salutis exitum, da perenne gaudium.
Thou best of Consolers, sweet guest of the soul, sweet refreshment.
In labor, thou art rest, in heat, the tempering, in grief, the consolation.
O Light most blessed, fill the inmost heart of all thy faithful.
Without your grace, there is nothing in us, nothing that is not harmful.
Cleanse what is sordid, moisten what is arid, heal what is hurt.
Flex what is rigid, fire what is frigid, correct what goes astray.
Grant to thy faithful, those trusting in thee, thy sacred seven-fold gifts.
Grant the reward of virtue, grant the deliverance of salvation, grant everlasting joy.
V. aGnuS deI – lux aeternaAgnus Dei,
qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem sempiternam.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum; quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Alleluia. Amen.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest everlasting.
May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, in the company of thy Saints for ever and ever; for thou art merciful.
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Alleluia. Amen. Translation © Copyright 1988 by earthsongs
